PwC Talks: Leaning In, together with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg

PwC US Chairman Bob Moritz and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg had a candid conversation about her best-selling book Lean In: Women, Work & the Will to Lead. They spent an hour discussing the messages of the book, why so few women have ascended to top leadership, what role men should play, and how companies can -- and must -- lean in too!

“The other thing we need to do well is mentor and sponsor women. One of the best things I have seen any CEO do was your letter where you said, 'We've asked 2,700 PwC execs to sponsor three diverse professionals.' " – Sheryl Sandberg to Bob Moritz
